Awhile back i remember reading a post where some people were talking about i video that showed the new f-150 in a tug of war aginst a dodge. i would really like to see this. Does anyone have any idea where i can find it?

 

I have the DVD somewhere at home. It also shows a Tundra and a GM. It was part of the product rollout.

 

that commerical was about as bad as all the others just
more b/s

 

Larry's right. Marketing hype!!! I'd like to see two ACTUAL owners hook up and go at it, though!!!

 

and a straight tug -o - war is only a measure of traction, not engine power.

 

Given the same tires.... then isn't traction part of the towing equation? I mean, what good is a two-truck that can put the power to the ground?

I'd stilll like to see it.

 

Seems to me both trucks would just start spinning their tires, with the heavier one easing forward...hook up a couple large trailers loaded down and then have a drag, then you'll know whos tougher......

 

If two guys are trying to pull each other and one gives it too much gas and breaks traction then you are right its a traction battle. But if both have the same tires and gradually increase pull then I think it would be a fair measure. Or at least pretty cool to see. But once someone breaks the tires loose its over, unless both are spinning em.

 

...which is where our hated electronic throttle control comes in.

 

i will have a tug of war with anyone who wants too, i get to keep my 15.5 inch wide tires on tho

 

Ha good point. Now if they were slicks you would be in business.

 

maybe pop a wheelie if your lucky

 

BIGTRUCK311, I have hooked to a hemi, 4x4 with 20" rims and street tires. On a paved pad locked in 4wd. My truck has 167k on it. The Hemi was brand new. I didnt pull him, and he didnt pull me... until my frontend went. and this went on 10 min or more befoer this happened. he couldnt believe it, he actually admitted he was embarrased that he couldnt pull a 4.6L

 

Thats what county fair stock tractor pulls are for!

Tractor pulls are great! I
always look forward to the yearly tractor pull night at the Canfield Fair in Canfield, OH!

 

SURF, what did you hook you trucks toghther with?
